Mostar

We were away from the campsite pretty early this morning after poached eggs for breakfast - we wanted boiled eggs and soldiers but we've struggled to find egg cups in any of the supermarkets so far!!

Anyway, our first stop was the Red Lake, which was not as impressive as the Blue Lake yesterday and not at all red, though the cliffs around it were!

Then a drive across the border into Bosnia and Herzegovina to Mostar, where we had a quick walk around the old town and a somewhat disappointing lunch - we made the mistake of eating too close to the Old Bridge, so it was very touristy. Mostar was surprisingly busy for a Monday in May.

We skipped the Museum Of War And Genocide Victims, which we were thinking of doing, on the basis that we hope to go to Sarajevo later on our trip, so will do a war museum there.

As an aside, driving in both Croatia and Bosnia has been a bit weird. The speed limits are typically quite low, especially in towns, but are routinely ignored, even though there are quite a lot of speed cameras. On faster roads, people tend to drive very fast and fairly impatiently. Also, drivers tend to drift across the road a lot, especially lorry drivers - I'm not sure why they do this but it can be quite scary when they are coming towards you!Read more
